Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Punjab & Haryana High Court's order granting anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, while imposing conditions deemed unreasonable by the appellants. The Court held that while the High Court has the discretion to impose conditions, such conditions should not be onerous or infringe upon the right to bail. The Court ultimately directed a reconsideration of the conditions imposed by the High Court, emphasizing the need for a balance between the rights of the accused and the interests of justice.
